Fender® Stratocaster®

Description

Used Fender Stratocaster in Black in good condition. It looks like it might be a partscaster from different Fenders. The body has "ST 57" stamped on it, but the date is obscured with a signature. This would indicate the body is MIJ. The neck could possibly be US, since it has the more narrow spacing of the dots on the 12th fret. There is no indication of country of origin on the guitar. Note the above photo showing the coated cloth wiring. The serial number on the neck backplate is V066878, which could indicate a US Vintage Series, but when entered in Guitar Dater Project specifying "Made in Japan" as country of manufacture, it comes up as:

"Your guitar was made at the
Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan
in 1996 - 1997
Production Number: 66878"

This would be consistent with a MIJ 57 Reissue. MIJ/MIA or a bit of both, it's a great deal on a cool playing Strat.
